  • Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder
    Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder Company Overview Headquartered in Mountain View, CA Silicon Shores Corporation is the company overseeing operations of the Shoreline Lake Boathouse and American Bistro at the Shoreline Lake Recreational Area and Wildlife Sanctuary. Silicon Shores manages the facilities through a leasing arrangement with the City of Mountain View, which owns the Shoreline Lake park area. This private company, established in 2000, is incorporated in California. Christina Ferrari is the owner and President and entered into the relationship with the City in 2000. Given the origins of Shoreline Lake, the City of Mountain View’s transformation of 544 acres of junkyard, hog farm, two substandard dumps, low lying flood plains, and a sewage treatment plant into a nature preserve was quite an undertaking. Partnering with Silicon Shores ensured that the area can provide the services and amenities that the surrounding urban population and visitors would appreciate finding within a nature preserve. Vision & Mission The company’s goal for the Shoreline Lake area is to create an experience unmatched within Silicon Valley for residents and workers of the South Bay, and beyond. The centerpiece of the Park, Shoreline Lake is a man- made, 50-acre, salt water lake filled by waters pumped in from the San Francisco Bay that circulate back out into Permanente Creek. However, a densely populated, heavily-developed area surrounds the Park, which includes many well-known hi-tech firms (e.g., Google headquarters is right next door). Even so, Shoreline Lake, a safe and expansive waterway for many water sports, is also a wildlife sanctuary and home to many rare, migratory birds, such as the burrowing owl.

  • Silicon Valley's Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center And
    Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story By Lee Foster Author’s Note: This article “Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story” is a chapter in my new book/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. The subject is also covered in my book/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebook in Chinese. Several of my books on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. In Brief In California’s Silicon Valley, you can learn about the computer and technology revolution that is affecting the world today. For instance, the story comes alive at the new Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino. In addition you can visit three great museums located, appropriately, in this Northern California epicenter of innovation. These high-tech revolutions have altered the face of San Jose and the Silicon Valley. You find the area, which is 30-50 miles south of San Francisco. It stretches along the western and southern edge of San Francisco Bay. My Osborne Computer, 1980, a copy of which can be seen at the Computer History Museum Originally a bucolic ranching region, San Jose began as a small pueblo and Spanish mission in the 18th century. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the valley developed as one of the most important fruit-growing areas in the United States.

From the Chair OK, here we go—the first Official Progress Report from Worldcon 76 in San Jose! The World Science Fiction Convention is, to me, the World’s Fair of fandom. No other event brings together fans and creators, regardless of genre or medium, under one “big tent” with the face-to-face intimacy of Worldcon. There are lots of big pop culture conventions (quite a few bigger than Worldcon), but none of them feature the “everybody creates this event together” culture that makes Worldcon such a unique international gathering. Just last month at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, Finland, I had the privilege of announcing our final two Guests of Honor, artist John Picacio and musician Frank Hayes, who join GoHs Spider Robinson, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, and our posthumous Ghost and gHost of Honor Edgar Pangborn and Bob Wilkins.
